The Ministry of Defense of Poland has completely decommissioned Soviet Su-22 fighter-bombers. Such aircraft began to be decommissioned for the first time back in 2014, now they will be completely sent to storage.
According to the plan to update the country's Air Force, the Polish military department will replace all decommissioned Су-22 with ударными беспилотными летательными аппаратами.
The USSR transferred 90 units of Су-22 to Poland, which became part of the first contract for the supply of these aircraft. Poland received variants of Су-22М-4 and Су-22УМ3К aircraft between 1980 and 1985.
Of course, they lasted a very long time. And they would have flown for another 5-7 years, considering that the Poles have long been able to complete the full repair cycle.
Су-22 — export modification of the Soviet Су-17М2 with the Р-29БС-300 engine, Р-802Б radio station, export version of the state identification system transponder.
Since 1984, almost a hundred Су-17УМ3 with the АЛ-21Ф-3 engine under the designation Су-22УМ3К have been transferred to 11 countries of the world.
